Achates
Why stands my sweete Aeneas thus amazde?
Achates
And in this humor is Achates to,
I cannot choose but fall upon my knees,
And kisse his hand: O where is Hecuba ?
Here she was wont to sit, but saving ayre
Is nothing here, and what is this but stone?
Achates.
What meanes Aeneas?
Achates
Thy mind Aeneas that would have it so
Deludes thy eye sight, Priamus is dead.
Achates
Aeneas see, here come the Citizens,
Leave to lament lest they laugh at our feares.
Achates
Like Illioneus speakes this Noble man,
But Illioneus goes not in such robes.
Achates
Aeneas see, Sergestus or his ghost.
Achates
O Illioneus, art thou yet alive?
Achates
What happened to the Queene we cannot shewe,
We heare they led her captive into Greece .
As for Aeneas he swomme quickly backe,
And Helena betraied Deiphobus ,
Her Lover after Alexander dyed,
And so was reconcil'd to Menelaus.
